This can be practised only if a man is able to control his ejaculatory reflex at will. It is a form of sexual union indulged in usually by partners who have been making love together for some time, who know each other well and who have learned how to adjust to each other’s needs. This can be one of the most exciting forms of sexual union, and it is one of the most treasured aspects of a long-term loving relationship.

For it to occur, the woman must be highly aroused during foreplay and then the sexual tension of both partners must be maintained by intermittent thrusting movements, punctuated by pauses from time to time for as long as each partner wishes. When sensation reaches a peak and can’t be put off further, both partners enjoy orgasm in a mutually agreed, final burst of lovemaking.

Multiple Orgasms-Until recently, we believed that only women were capable of multiple orgasms, but new research has shown that some men are able to have them, too. Since orgasm is not necessarily synonymous with ejaculation, but is more accurately defined as the intense and diffuse pleasurable sensations the man feels, it is perfectly possible for a man to have several climaxes in fairly quick succession.

To provide the most satisfying sensations over the entire clitoral area, use the whole hand — all the fingers, palm or the heel of the hand – rather than just one or two fingers. Your fingers need to be well lubricated so use vaginal fluid, saliva or jellies. There are two major types of movement, circular and vibratory.

For circular movements, place your hand over the clitoral area. Apply light pressure with your palm or fingers, moving them gently round and round.

Move your hand up so that the heel is right over the clitoris at the top of the vulva and is resting partly on the pubic bone on either side, where you can press firmly as you rub.

Alternatively, you can press gently with your hand, palm downward over the pubic mound so that your fingers overhang the clitoris, and make firm, circular movements.

For vibratory movements, cup your hand over the pubic area and vibrate it rapidly, brushing your fingers to and fro across the clitoris. Then, keeping your hand still, put a finger each side of the vaginal lips and vibrate them from side to side. Pressing firmly through the fleshy folds, rub on each side of the inner vaginal lips at the base of the clitoris.

Most women also often enjoy being penetrated by a finger while their clitoris is being stimulated. Make sure that your fingernail is short and straight before slipping your middle finger into the vagina, keeping your other fingers bent forward so that the knuckles continue to press against the clitoris. You can move your finger in and out gently, applying pressure on the front wall of the vagina. Alternatively, rub the tip of your penis against the clitoris.

http://pharma-c.net/buy_levitra.html How to stimulate a woman-The clitoris is delicate and highly sensitive; most women find indirect pressure more comfortable than direct pressure.

1 Placing your hand over your partner’s entire perineum or vaginal area, while applying light

pressure and gentle circular movements, will increase her arousal.

2 When your partner is sufficiently lubricated, insert your finger into her vagina and move it

gently in and out, while keeping contact with the clitoris.

A woman’s body requires prolonged stimulation if she is to become fully aroused. Arousal is brought on by a complex blend of mental and physical stimuli when the emotional atmosphere is sufficiently encouraging.

Some women need a particularly long time, and a considerate lover must therefore be patient. As you arouse your partner, you will feel intense pleasure as well, and she will not only be more receptive but also more helpful during intercourse, so that the experience will be equally pleasurable for both of you. Men who kiss and cuddle a lot, and indulge in sensitive foreplay, are much more likely to see their partners reach orgasm frequently and easily.

Don’t be in a hurry to undress your partner and proceed immediately to touching her breasts and vagina. Hold her close, and keep early caresses non genital. Concentrate on your partner. Let the resulting feelings range all over your body, and avoid thinking solely about what is happening to your penis.

Sending out sexual messages requires directness as well as a certain degree of vulnerability. It nearly always requires self-esteem to take the knocks and rejections that we might possibly receive when we make an advance. We need to have a mixture of arrogance and humility to assume that someone would want to know us better, while remembering that many people might rather have nothing to do with us. We ask ourselves the questions: “Do I remember taking this risk before and was it comfortable or uncomfortable?” and “Am I prepared to take this risk again?”. An encouraging thought is that it is rare for someone that you are very interested in to be entirely indifferent to you.

Sending out messages-The truth is we cannot help but communicate. Even if we are not actually speaking, we are giving out signals through the body. People are perceived as being friendly or unfriendly without a word being spoken. Body gestures give messages about subconscious emotions and are, therefore, a very direct form of communication. You can use them to see what others are thinking. They often belie what we are saying; probably, non-verbal gestures are more accurate in many situations than words themselves. And, as we gain awareness of non-verbal behaviour and an interest in interpreting the body language of others, we become aware of our own bodily gestures, resulting in more effective outward communication.

The Scrotum-The scrotum is the pouch of skin situated below the root of the penis that houses the testes. It’s divided by a fibrous sheet and this division can be seen on the surface of the scrotum as a ridge. The skin of the scrotum is dark and thin and contains numerous sebaceous glands and sparse hairs. Under the skin is a smooth muscle that contracts in response to cold, or vigorous exercise; its contraction makes the scrotum smaller and its skin wrinkled.

The Testes-The testes are smooth, oval structures that are compressed from side to side like broad beans. The left testis may be slightly lower than the right. Each testis is inside a sac and has four coverings that correspond to the various layers of the abdominal wall; these are carried down into the scrotal sac when the testis migrates from inside the abdomen just before birth. Small muscles control the height of the testes. The position of the testes may change according to a man’s level of sexual arousal, his emotions and the temperature of the scrotum, among other things. If sperm are to develop normally, they must be produced at a temperature two or three degrees lower than the rest of the body. That is why the testes are “outside” the body.

The two functions of the testis are to produce sperm and male hormones or androgens, primarily testosterone. A fine tube carries sperm developed in the testis to the epididymis where it is stored. This comma-shaped structure is stuck to the rear surface of the testis and is, in effect, an extensively coiled duct.

The vas deferens carries sperm via the spermatic cord into the pelvis, where it joins the back of the bladder with the seminal vesicle. Each duct then continues downwards and, joined by the duct of the seminal vesicle, forms the ejaculatory duct, which runs on through the body of the prostate and enters the urethra inside the prostate gland. Each seminal vesicle contains a small quantity of sticky fluid in which the sperm are supported and nourished, and which forms the ejaculate.

The Prostate-The prostate is a fibrous, muscular and glandular organ shaped like a chestnut. It produces secretions that form part of the seminal fluid during ejaculation. It’s contained in a fibrous capsule and sits just below the neck of the bladder. The male urethra passes right through the centre of the prostate. If the prostate gland enlarges, the urethral outlet may be narrowed. This leads to difficulty in urinating, dribbling and poor stream (a not uncommon condition in men over the age of 55). Beyond the prostate are a pair of glands that also add lubricant to the seminal fluid prior to ejaculation.

Most women get great sensual pleasure from touching and being touched. Women find body contact and closeness are more important to them than they are to men, but they are not substitutes for orgasms. Women want both physical and emotional closeness and orgasms.

Many Western men are unable to enjoy touching, body contact, and caressing, and this is largely a fault of our upbringing. Small boys are taught that to show emotions, to show affection, and to enjoy touching other people diminishes their male identity. Real men – red-blooded masculine men – are taught to hide their emotions. It is weak and feminine to cry. Affection can only be shown in private: to show open affection makes a man’s masculinity suspect. Touching is something only women and homosexuals do. By contrast, girls are taught that women can show emotions: they can cry, they can show open affection, and they may touch people without diminishing their femininity.

It is a sad commentary on our culture that this is so. There is no biological difference between men and women in the need for bodily contact – but men are trained to ignore the important psychological values of touching and this can reduce their sexual enjoyment.

Something must be wrong with the sexual relationships between men and women judged by the number of articles on ‘How to become a better lover’ which appear in magazines, or by the increasingly large number of sex manuals which are in circulation. Even more cogent to the belief that all is not well with our sexual relationships is the information that sexual problems occur in over 50 per cent of marriages. In many instances the problem is minor and easily solved, but in some the problem, and a lack of communication between the partners, can destroy the relationship, leaving bitterness and misery instead of love. This statement is supported by a recent survey of 100 middle-class marriages in the U.S.A. by Ellen Frank. All the couples believed their marriages to be happy yet, on questioning, nearly half the women had difficulty in reaching orgasm and more than half had difficulty in becoming sexually excited or, once aroused, of maintaining their excitement. The investigators found that more wives than husbands complained about sexual problems, and the women had far more sexual ‘difficulties’ than the men: 47 per cent found it difficult to relax, 35 per cent said that they were ‘disinterested’ sexually, 38 per cent said there was ‘too little foreplay before intercourse’, and 31 per cent said that their partner often chose ‘an inconvenient time’.

The principal stimuli in this phase are those of touch and smell. Stimulated, initially, by the looks of the sexual partner, by his or her voice, in the plateau phase touch becomes as important. Stimulation occurs from the touch of the partner’s lips, the exploring tongue, the feel of a man’s penis and scrotum, or a woman’s breasts, body, and soft vulva. These stimuli enhance sexual desire, lifting each partner into the later plateau phase when the desire to reach orgasm becomes intense. The term ‘plateau’ is perhaps a misnomer, for sexual tension increases during this time; but a man who is a considerate lover and finds that his partner is not so aroused as he is will want to help her to reach his degree of sexual tension, and will consciously ‘hold back’, so that he remains highly sexually stimulated in the plateau phase, but does not enter the orgasmic phase too quickly.

The duration of the plateau phase depends on the urgency and strength of the sexual desire, on the effectiveness of the sexual stimuli given by the partner, and on the quality of the communication between the partners. If a woman is slow to reach the orgasmic phase, but does not tell her partner that she needs additional stimuli to bring her to orgasm, she can only blame herself, or her inhibitions, should her man reach orgasm and fall sleepily into the phase of resolution, without having helped her to reach orgasm to relieve her sexual arousal.

The limbic area is closely connected with the hypothalamus where the gonadotrophin hormones originate. These induce the testes to produce spermatozoa and the sex hormones found’in men, and the ovaries to secrete the sex hormones which control the menstrual cycle in women.

It also seems, from experiments on male squirrel monkeys, that the messages from the sex centre in the limbic area of the brain which help the animal get an erection and have an orgasm are funnelled through the hypothalamus to the brain stem. It is probable that this also happens in man. A treatment of male sex offenders, practised at one time in Germany, was to implant an electrode in the region of the front part of the hypothalamus and to destroy the nerve pathways by passing an electric current through the electrode. The eleven men treated in this way by Dr Roder lost all their sexual drive after the operation, although they were unchanged in every other way and continued to secrete the male sex hormone, testosterone.

The American surveys also revealed that adolescents in different social classes had different attitudes towards sexuality. Among young men in lower socio-economic groups there was greater sex segregation in peer groups. Masturbation occurred less often and started later, as it was considered ‘unmanly’. Sexual intercourse started earlier than in the higher socio-economic groups. It was often casual and exploited the women, the men being sexual adventurers who avoided any romantic attachment. Within the peer group each member tried to impress the others by his aggression, by physical display, and by his sexual successes. In modern terms, the young man was developing into a male chauvinist pig, who had a strong double standard of sexuality and who perceived women as objects for sexual pleasure.

In the higher socio-economic groups there was far less sex segregation and much earlier masturbation, which was accompanied by sexual fantasy. The young men had sexual intercourse later, often made romantic attachments, and found it less necessary to impress the peer group by physical display, aggression, or sexual prowess.

The differences in sexual behaviour between young women of different social classes were less marked. Women in lower socioeconomic groups masturbated less, but had sexual intercourse earlier and more often, although they apparently had less enjoyment from sex, reaching or being helped to orgasm less often.

It is interesting too that adult concepts of ‘bad’ when related to young adolescents of each sex were different. Adults accepted that a ‘bad boy’ could be bad in several ways. He could fight excessively, lie, steal, take drugs, or play truant from school. But to say a girl was a ‘bad girl’ meant that she was sexually permissive.
